TITLE: Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Lyrics and Chords


I lay my head on the railroad track
And wait for the double-E
The railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me

/ C G D G / :

{Refrain}
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me

/ C G D G / / C - D - / - - G - / 

Well I met a girl in West Hollywood
And I ain't namin' names
Well, she really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James

She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
She put me through some changes, Lord
Sort of like a Waring blender

{Refrain twice}

I met a girl at the Rainbow Bar
She asks me if I'd beat her
She took me back to the Hyatt House
I don't want to talk about it

Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
